EASY OVEN BACON

INGREDIENTS
1 lb of bacon
OPTIONAL SEASONING:
brown sugar maple syrup, paprika, chili powder, garam masala, etc

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil (if using). Crimp the sides up if needed to make a pan within a pan and keep the bacon grease from running out once it turns liquid.
2. Place the oven-safe cooling rack on top of the baking sheet (if using).
3. Lay the bacon out in a single layer. It can be touching and will shrink a bit while it cooks.
4. Season if desired.
5. Place the bacon into a cold oven and set it for 365 degrees.
6. Let thick cut bacon cook for 10 minutes (thinner bacon for 7 minutes) then turn the pans around. If using more than 1 pan, swap top for bottom as well.
7. Set the timer for 5 additional minutes, then check it. If it's not done continue to cook checking every 2 - 3 minutes. Thick bacon usually takes 18 minutes while thin takes about 12.
8. Drain on paper towels prior to serving if desired.
